Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 9 years old, started to feel a sore throat when speaking. He noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should high fever caused by tonsillitis in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this condition seriously, seek medical treatment for the child as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
